Question everything: Breaking through the brick walls we’ve built
Mon, July 17, 2023 @ 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm MDT
Program – Question everything: Breaking through the brick walls we’ve built.
Presentation by Eilene Lyon
In this talk, Eilene will share some of the ways we inadvertently create brick walls for ourselves. She will give examples from her research and demonstrate how to question our assumptions and dig deeper into the sources we already have. Re-examining the research we’ve already done can lead us to new research questions and directions.
Please join us for this hybrid presentation at the Mamie Doud Eisenhower Library, 3 Community Park Rd, Broomfield, CO 80020 starting at 6:00 pm (Mountain) or online:
